Today, as the studio was being set up for the broadcast next week, me and Emma painted the big room we use for meetings.

We decided to paint it white, but the paint was ‘cornflour white’ so it is now more blue, but it looks great and much better than before. We had loads of fun and we hope everyone will enjoy the new paint work!

This is the location for the summer ELFM broadcast.

The shops are at the junction of Boggart Hill Road, Kentmere Avenue and Ramshead Hill. The address is 45 Ramshead Hill, Seacroft LS14 1BT - click here for a link to a map

It’s an old rent office that hasn’t been used for 5 years - on the right hand edge of the row of shops. There are discussions going on between East North East Homes, the Council and a few local tenants groups (including Boggart Hill Action Group) about bringing the place back into use as a community facility.

And what better way to launch such a facility than to have ELFM come and do a radio broadcast. More than that, there is even talk about us using some of the upstairs space as a permanent base – but still a bit of negotiation there. Good news is there’s an excellent bus service from town (no’s 50, 49 and 58) stops right outside. And it’s only a short walk from the bus station at Tescos.

And of course it’s on a hill – which means good coverage for our FM signal across East Leeds and beyond.

Thanks to all the Councillors, ENEH staff, Area Management staff and the local tenants groups who are all trying to find a way to make it work.
